Hello, you can look into our goldwave scripts, there is a key, 1 function and a script to read the progress bar, and a call to the newtext event function as well, in addition to it, it can also be turned-off. Hope this helps, since goldwavedoesn't contain the fixed ctrl ids, so some other great logic is used, go look at it. www.blind-geek-zone.net, jaws-users.com www.ultrauniverse.co.cc all these 3 sites I am aware of where you can get this script set. Thank you.
